If you're not a Gator, you're Gator bait

That's right!

Take the case of current University of Florida football player Ronnie Wilson. He embodies everything that's right with college football. And by "right" and mean totally and completely wrong.

Here's what you can get away with down in Gainesville according to SI.com:

Early on the morning of April 5, according to a Gainesville police report and Wilson's plea in court, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Wilson punched and spat on an average-sized man named Frank Fuller at a nightclub steps from Florida Field. Fuller jumped in his car and followed Wilson, staying on the line with a 911 dispatcher so police would know where to find Wilson.

About 20 minutes later, according to the report, Wilson's plea and a 911 call, both cars stopped in an empty parking lot. Wilson pulled an AK-47 from his trunk. As Fuller ducked beneath his steering wheel, Wilson pointed to the sky and fired.

Nice!

Two questions here.

First off, if you've already pummeled a guy into submission with your bare hands, why do you need an assault rifle to 'brush him off' a second time? How about go back to what worked the first time? Punches to the face and what not? That's likely to get you in less trouble then an automatic weapon.

And secondly, what in the fuck is a college football player on scholarship at a major university doing with a Russian assault rifle? Are you kidding me?

I realize that some of these guys come from bad neighborhoods but Jesus, an AK-47? Do you really need one of those in your trunk when you're in the 6', 300 lbs. range?

The best part of the story is that not only is this asshole back on the University of Florida roster at the moment, but he also got busted for marijuana possession by authorities on another occassion. I'm all for giving a guy second chances. We all make mistakes.

If Florida is the juggernaut that we're lead to believe though, do you really need these guys on your roster? How about sending a message for a change?

I guess sending messages is for college football coaches that are more focused on the greater good as opposed to winning at all costs.
